When you’re feeling a cold, flu, or other illness coming on, steep yourself a cup of this ginger tea. In addition to ginger’s many health benefits, we include rosehip and chamomile. Â Together the tisane soothes and hydrates; adding a touch of honey or agave syrup can help to ease sore throats and suppress coughs. Don’t be shy about how much ginger you add, Â our recommendation will be pretty spicy, but you can always make it as spicy and potent as you prefer.
